ToverifythattheCyclictoThrottlemixisworkingproperlyandin
the correct direction, move the flight mode switch to one of the
active positions. Move the programmed cyclic or rudder channel,
noting the throttle position. The throttle position should increase.
If the throttle decreases, then the opposite value (positive vs.
negative) is needed.
